I had a wonderful experience with Ms. Spence and her entire staff. They truly treat everyone with dignity and respect. The attentiveness and care they showed my mom is something I’ll always be grateful for. Throughout the process, they kept her updated and took the time to explain everything clearly so she never felt confused or left out. Even while helping support her through the case, Ms. Spence always made me feel comfortable and heard as well. She is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also very down to earth and genuinely cares about her clients.

I had a wonderful experience with Gail Spence and her entire staff. She was knowledgeable, professional, and truly kind throughout the whole SSDI process. Her team was always responsive and helpful, which made everything much less stressful. I’m very grateful for their support and highly recommend Gail Spence to anyone needing help with an SSDI claim.

I hired Ms. Spence on August 2025 after being denied twice and having trouble securing the right attorney. Ms. Spence went out of her way to make sure we had all the right details and documentation. She was very understanding of my situation and talked me through every step with incredible detail. I had my hearing in February 2026 and 3 days later I was approved. Ms. Spence literally changed the trajectory of my life for the better but I didn’t know what’d I do next. Now I do thanks to Ms. Spence. If you need an attorney that’s thoughtful, polite, and very thorough, Ms. Spence is the perfect attorney. I’m eternally grateful to her and her paralegal for their expertise. She was always there to answer the phone whenever I had concerns or questions and made me feel comfortable with my case with Ms. Spence as my attorney. Once again, Thank you!

Very professional, very efficient and worked to get the fastest possible hearing possible. It takes awhile to get through the process in my case a bit more than a year but they helped get it done as quickly as possible. I thank them very much.

Mrs. Spence and her entire staff have been a blessing for me to work with. I came to this practice after initially trying to resolve my matter on my own and can honestly say I would have been denied without her expertise. This process is extremely frustrating and there were so many obstacles and misunderstandings i came across until i was blessed enough to stumble across Mrs. Spence and her team. She is just so incredibly knowledgeable about all of the steps and all of the workarounds to the many obstacles. She decided after a lengthy interview process that she would take my case despite the significant hole i had dug myself in with my initial denial and within less than a year helped guide me through an approval. I can't even pretend that my hearing would have been successful without her representation. Her staff is equally as incredible, they are on time the are thorough and they are transparent. After many calls and conversations I realized that if we were going to be successful i needed to listen and allow her to represent me to her fullest capability. I found Mrs. Spence from doing a google search and she was prompt in responding to my inquiry and conducting the initial interview to see if my case was viable. I have no regrets and if you are anything like me, you need someone as knowledgeable and to the point as Mrs. Spence is. I cannot tell you how thankful i am to her personally and her staff for this entire process. She was absolutely amazing to deal with and I urge anyone thinking about representation to give her the chance to earn your business. Usually people run to make reviews about unpleasant experiences but i couldn't wait to tell google just how great this firm was for me and that 5 stars is not nearly enough for the service she provided me.

I contacted Ms. Spence after my case was denied. She prepared me for the hearing. She did all the hard work. At the start of each call, she would always take the time to ask how I was doing. She is a very compassionate person. She was always very helpful in answering my questions. She made sure I understood what I was up against. I knew what to expect every step of the way. I was very pleased with the service provided by Ms. Spence and her staff.

Look no further ... Gail Spence is hands down the most knowledgeable and patient caring attorney I have ever dealt with. She is all business and fully looks out for her client. If you need the best you need SPENCE !! Her staff is on top of things as well and she has a great team of employees behind her.

I contacted this office with several questions concerns. I needed answers & an overview of my options. The attorney Ms.Spence took the time to patiently answer my questions. I was shocked by the level of detail & her willingness to the spend the time addressing my concerns. I found her name on Google after seeing her reviews. I wasn't sure if this was the best way, but I needed answers. I'm so glad I made the call. Since then I've referred her to several people, and even when she couldn't take the case, they were pleased by her very thorough approach. Ms. Spence is polite. She is very kind and thoughtful. She is compassionate. She is willing to hear you out. I will continue to refer Ms. Spence and her staff to anyone who is trying to navigate the disability system. She was a god send to me and I know she can do the same for your.

Aggressive, rude and, provides poor legal advice. Many of the other reviews comment on this woman’s demeanor. Incredibly passive aggressive comments. Horribly condescending Incredibly poor judgement on legal issues. There are tons of disability attorneys in the state. I wouldn’t recommend this woman to anyone. Note: not leaving this review because you weren’t interested in the case. Spent my time leaving this review because you need an attitude adjustment! Have a great day.

Chris Nikolities<br>We have no record of you contacting our office. Clearly you are using an alias in an attempt to disparage our office. There is no record of anyone with your name in NJ or the surrounding areas! Here is the deal: Prospective clients may call our office, evaluate the reviews on google, AVVO, and several other websites. There are over 300 plus 5-star reviews. Who should prospective clients believe? Someone hiding behind an alias or the responses from individuals who were actually our clients? <br>

I recently sought the advice of Ms. Spence regarding my sister who was gravely ill. Beyond dispensing sound and very helpful advice to me and my family, Ms Spence was caring, compassionate and empathetic. What resonated clearly with me is that she's not about the money. Rather, she is genuinely passionate about helping people and achieving positive outcomes with very realistic expectations. An experienced great attorney and a true humanitarian. If you're looking for a lawyer in her area of expertise, look no further.

Poor to none customer service! Very unprofessional staff, not understanding to your situation and poor listening skills. Hire better stafff!

Response from owner

Jose Ampie-Zapata:<br>Regardless of your diagnosis, whether real or perceived, no office is equipped to deal with your belligerence and your special brand of vitriol. We did not accept your case, for this and many other reasons. We will not tolerate the threats to staff. If you continue to contact our office and threaten our staff, a formal complaint will be filed with the local police. If necessary, this matter will also be referred to the governing body in which you claim membership.<br>

I was injured seriously at work in September 2024. After about a year of care which included numerous doctors, specialists, procedures and surgeries it became clear to me that my injuries would be lasting and permanent. I called the Law Office of Gail A Spence (based solely on online reviews) and from the start I knew I would be taken care of. Miss Spence most of all is a very caring person and treats you respectfully and compassionately. She is very knowledgeable and wont waste your time if you do not have a solid case. Her communication is direct and to the point and she will not waste your time with unnecessary information or long needless phone calls. She keeps you centered if you start talking about something not pertinent to the case. Just know behind the scenes she is handling everything, She is concise in her questions and knows how to present your medical condition. She and her paralegal staff (Mr. Calfani) were always very quick to return calls and to provide updates when necessary. This put me at ease knowing my case was getting the attention it needed. I would absolutely recommend Gail A Spence and her team if you are considering applying for SS Disability.

Miss Spence was absolutely incredible from start to finish. She took the time to explain every step of the process in a way we could understand, and she kept us updated the entire way through. Her compassion for my husband’s situation was clear from the very beginning, and she fought hard to make sure he received the help he deserved. Thanks to her dedication and expertise, he won his case. We are truly grateful for everything she did for our family and 100% recommend her to anyone needing a disability lawyer.
